Definitions |
"Sex" is an extremely complicated term with many different meanings, both historical and contemporarily, as well as colloquially. It should be avoided, and more specific terms should be used in its place (such as "chromosomal sex" or "hormonal sex"). The theoretical totality of characteristics of reproductive structure, functions, phenotype, and genotype, differentiating the male from the female organism. In practice, many cases occur where a majority of characteristics occur aligning with "maleness" or "femaleness", with a minority not fitting those expectations. "Sex" therefore is often not specific enough of a term to be useful. Consider using something like "gonadal sex" or "chromosomal sex" instead. |
